A Beautiful Dress
My neighbor’s eight-year-old daughter used to live in the countryside, her native place. Recently her parents 51 her to town to live with them. Wild and uneducated, she would use 52 words when she was angry. Sometimes she went so far as to 53 on the ground, to the 54 of all people around. Her parents tried to 55 her by beating and kicking. However, she became more 56 . Finally they became thoroughly 57 with her.
One day their next-door 58 , a retired teacher, gave the girl a snow-white dress, which was very 59 . It immediately caught the girl’s 60 and made them shine brightly.
The girl put on the dress and became quite a 61 person. She no longer acted rudely or hit others. She 62 seldom rolled on the floor. She knew running wild was not 63 for her in a beautiful dress. Since then, the girl had been 64 , neat, and lovely.
The story set me 65 a lot. Perhaps everyone has a beautiful dress 66 somewhere in his or her heart.

It can arouse fine qualities that humans are 70 with but have so far hidden somewhere. It has a soul-shaking influence that is indeed unmatched.
